Scared Stranger

He hides from me,
Afraid I'll destroy his world...
He creeps into a tiny hole,
Retreats in to the dark
To escape the ferocity
He thinks I possess...

But I just want to watch
From afar,
I see something interesting
And I want to see it continue
Get lost in a world
That's not my own.

So there we stand,
Face to face--
Eying each other in anticipation
He, afraid for his life
And I, awaiting mine.
